EXPORT –> QUICKTIME –> click SETTINGS in the MOVIE SETTINGS

choose ANIMATION and then MILLIONS OF COLOUR+

that includes the alpha channel….

Fantastic!

Great tutorial.. a “must view” for people who want to integrate AE and flash to take advantage of the strengths of both programs! i’m looking forward to your next tutorial!

here is flash video and the web by macromedia…

https://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/flash/articles/flv_tutorial_03.html

and you said in one of your last posts that “people should be able to download it”…

okay… that means that the swf and flv format are OUT!!!

that leaves wmv and quicktime…

good morning Eric…

there will be lots of debate on this topic since there are so many *right* ways to do this….

i export a QT mov file from AE using the animation codec (the codec — if you use one — will be dependent upon your content) and then use squeeze to get the final swf from there…. i’m not sure what version of squeeze you are using but there should be no issue with using non-standard video sizes and maintain your pixel aspect….

you could also export an uncompressed avi file from AE and then use squeeze on that…

and i dont know your content but 12.5 frames per second will look choppy…

and you said “flash movie for the web”… have you thought about using flv format instead of swf?

and unfortunately there are no “best” settings… experimentation IS needed on each product from my humble perspective…

hi there…

open C4d
create a spline…. any spline will do…
create a circle with a radius of, say, 20 m
create a sweep nurbs

place the circle and spline as children of the sweep nurb…

1. sweep nurb
2. circle
3. spline

if you put the spline above the circle it looks funny…

then animate the “growth” parameter of the sweep nurb across your timeline…. swap out the cricle for a straight line and you have a ribbon… or whatever…

you can add cameras etc…

enjoy…

i did my ribbons in C4d and they looked awesome… then when i tried to emulate them in AE using plugin support they looked… umm… weak! that’s the trade off… for the depth and angles etc you need the full support of 3d and AE just isnt there yet…
